Executive Chef William Miller says he's going for a "homemade, rustic American" menu. Miller notes burgers, fries and soups made in house; and even a kids' menu with mac and cheese, penne, pizza, chicken and burgers.

Ambience: The Melhems gutted the space when they purchased it, moving the bar to the left-hand side of the restaurant, and filling the restaurant with a mix of tables and high-top bar tables. Two large windows, flanking the front door, fill the space with light. Mia Melhem notes customers in the neighborhood have expressed their appreciation for having a place they can walk to, have a few drinks or bring the family for a meal. "It's not just a bar; it's good drinks and good food," Mia Melhem says.

Food notes: The seasonal menu will shift in about three weeks, once weather warms a bit, says Executive Chef William Miller. Miller's had stints at several Lehigh Valley restaurants, including Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem, before moving to CHT. The chef hints at new salads, more finger foods, expanded breakfast options and a barbecue short rib sandwich for the new menu. The wings, which come in nine flavors, are fresh and never frozen, Miller says.

Breakfast: The breakfast menu - seasonal fresh fruit bourbon-glazed French toast, omelets, pork roll egg and cheese and eggs benedict - is available all day. Plus snag a free mimosa when you order breakfast 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday.

CHT Connection: College Hill Tavern has had several owners since its 1940s debut. Its new owners, are part of a family with connections to several other Easton businesses. John and Maynard's brother, Greg Melhem is a partner of Drinky's, 5 Centre Square. Their father, John, operates Easton Cafe, 125 Northampton St.
